This is equivalent to finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the three intervals of time, adding this number (as minutes) to the start time, resulting in the new synchronized time.
since
5=51
6=31⋅21
10=51⋅21
one obtains;
LCM(5,6,10)=21⋅31⋅51=30
Next synchronization time is;
8:00 AM+30m=8:30 AM.
